Especially since coming back from loan and doing so well last year and continuing that on this year. It\u2019s been really good. So, hopefully we can keep going and keep making more memories.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"beltel-ebe0ecc6_root beltel-ebe0ecc6_paragraph beltel-300db776_none beltel-91174671_primary beltel-1d70522a_marginbottom5 beltel-1d70522a_margintop0 beltel-b48c4984_inherit\" style=\"color:var(--color-primary-80)\">Talking about his targets for the future, Bradley stated: \u201cTo play even more games but also to win more trophies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"beltel-ebe0ecc6_root beltel-ebe0ecc6_paragraph beltel-300db776_none beltel-91174671_primary beltel-1d70522a_marginbottom5 beltel-1d70522a_margintop0 beltel-b48c4984_inherit\" style=\"color:var(--color-primary-80)\">\u201cI think the whole point of playing football is obviously to win trophies and be successful.<\/p>\n<p class=\"beltel-ebe0ecc6_root beltel-ebe0ecc6_paragraph beltel-300db776_none beltel-91174671_primary beltel-1d70522a_marginbottom5 beltel-1d70522a_margintop0 beltel-b48c4984_inherit\" style=\"color:var(--color-primary-80)\">\u201cSo the more of them we can win, the better it will be for me and the whole team.

style=\"color:var(--color-primary-80)\">Bradley signed his first pro contract in the summer of 2020 and the following year made his Reds debut in a League Cup tie at Norwich becoming the first Northern Ireland player to feature in a competitive fixture for the club since Sammy Smyth in 1954.<\/p>\n<p class=\"beltel-ebe0ecc6_root beltel-ebe0ecc6_paragraph beltel-300db776_none

the 2021-22 season prior to joining Bolton on loan the next season when he starred for the League One outfit winning the Player of the Year and Players\u2019 Player of the Year awards and claiming the EFL Trophy at Wembley with Wanderers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"beltel-ebe0ecc6_root beltel-ebe0ecc6_paragraph beltel-300db776_none beltel-91174671_primary beltel-1d70522a_marginbottom5

making 23 appearances across all competitions and netting his first goal for the club in a man of the match display against Chelsea in the Premier League in January 2024.<\/p>\n<p

style=\"color:var(--color-primary-80)\">With England star Trent Alexander Arnold leaving for Real Madrid in the summer, Bradley has a chance to nail down the right back slot though he will face competition from Dutchman Jeremie Frimpong who is set to sign for the Anfield side from Bayer Leverkusen for \u00a329.5million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"beltel-ebe0ecc6_root beltel-ebe0ecc6_paragraph

alike.<\/p>\n<p class=\"beltel-ebe0ecc6_root beltel-ebe0ecc6_paragraph beltel-300db776_none beltel-91174671_primary beltel-1d70522a_marginbottom5 beltel-1d70522a_margintop0 beltel-b48c4984_inherit\"
